An innovative Material-by-Design (MbD) approach is proposed in order to match a user-defined reference array onto an arbitrary conformal hosting surface without changing its radiating features. Towards this end, a two-step quasi-conformal transformation optics (QCTO) methodology is suitably customized and applied to synthesize a meta-material covering of the conformal geometry able to restore the desired radiation characteristics. A comparative assessment between several choices of the lens geometry is given by means of numerical full-wave simulations. publisher: ELEDIA Research Center - University of Trento date: 2018 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/773/1/A%20Comparative%20Assessment%20of%20Different%20Lens%20Geometries%20for%20the%20Material%E2%80%90by%E2%80%90Design%20Synthesis%20of%20Conformal%20Arrays.pdf identifier: Salucci, M. and Oliveri, G. and Anselmi, N. and Massa, A.
